Add _nm_setting_class_add_dbus_only_property(), for declaring
properties that appear in the D-Bus serialization, but which don't
correspond to GObject properties.
Since some property overrides will require examining settings other
than the setting that they are on (eg, the value of
802-11-wireless.security depends on whether an
NMSettingWirelessSecurity setting is present, and
NMSettingConnection:interface-name might sometimes be set from, eg,
bond.interface-name), we also update _nm_setting_to_dbus() to take the
full NMConnection as an argument, and _nm_setting_new_from_dbus() to
take the full connection hash.
Additionally, with some deprecated properties, we'll want to validate
them on construction, but we don't need to keep the value around after
that. So allow _nm_setting_new_from_dbus() to return a verification
error directly, so we don't need to store the value until the verify()
call.
On failure, nm_connection_replace_settings() would leave the
connection in an undefined state. Fix it so that either (a) the
settings are replaced and the resulting connection is valid and we
return TRUE, or (b) the connection is untouched and we return FALSE
and an error. (And add a test case for this.)
Rename nm_connection_to_hash() to nm_connection_to_dbus(), and
nm_connection_new_from_hash() to nm_connection_new_from_dbus(). In
addition to clarifying that this is specifically the D-Bus
serialization format, these names will also work better in the
GDBus-based future where the serialization format is GVariant, not
GHashTable.
Also, move NMSettingHashFlags to nm-connection.h, and rename it
NMConnectionSerializationFlags.
A few of the settings plugins were calling nm_connection_clear_secrets()
from their finalize() method, but this call can emit signals, and by
the time finalize() runs, the object has a refcount of 0. Signals
cannot be emitted from a finalized object, but instead could be
emitted from dispose() before the object is finalized.
Instead of moving the nm_connection_clear_secrets() to dispose() in each
plugin, make the behavior generic instead. The settings plugins' parent
object is NMSettingsConnection, so clear secrets there. Plus,
NMSettingsConnection caches system & agent secrets with NMSimpleConnection
objects, so clear secrets in NMSimpleConnection's dispose too.
The fact that NMRemoteConnection has to be an NMConnection and
therefore can't be an NMObject means that it needs to reimplement bits
of NMObject functionality (and likewise NMObject needs some special
magic to deal with it). Likewise, we will need a daemon-side
equivalent of NMObject as part of the gdbus port, and we would want
NMSettingsConnection to be able to inherit from this as well.
Solve this problem by making NMConnection into an interface, and
having NMRemoteConnection and NMSettingsConnection implement it. (We
use some hacks to keep the GHashTable of NMSettings objects inside
nm-connection.c rather than having to be implemented by the
implementations.)
Since NMConnection is no longer an instantiable type, this adds
NMSimpleConnection to replace the various non-D-Bus-based uses of
NMConnection throughout the code. nm_connection_new() becomes
nm_simple_connection_new(), nm_connection_new_from_hash() becomes
nm_simple_connection_new_from_hash(), and nm_connection_duplicate()
becomes nm_simple_connection_new_clone().
